Abstract

The invention concerns a device for conditioning (1) fixing elements (5) comprising: fixing elements (5) comprising each a support component (6) provided with an orifice (7) for passing through a fixing screw, said support component (6) being secured to a post (8) extending and emerging coaxially to said orifice (7); a flexible support section (2) having at least one portion shaped like a strip whereof one lateral edge is provided with a series of notches emerging laterally outside through a narrowed opening of smaller width than the diameter of the posts (8) such that said posts (8) can be engaged and be maintained in the notches by being clipped on.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement d'éléments de fixation comprenant une première partie constituée par une pièce d'appui et une deuxième partie comportant une vis qui s'engage dans un orifice central de la pièce d'appui lors du vissage, ces éléments de fixation pouvant être montés de façon détachable sur un profilé de supports souple afin de constituer une bande facilement transportable et pouvant servir à alimenter un appareil automatisé servant à la fixation par vissage d'éléments mécaniques (voir par exemple le document EP-A-0 935 969 ).The subject of the present invention is a device for packaging fastening elements comprising a first part constituted by a support piece and a second part comprising a screw which engages in a central orifice of the support part during screwing. these fastening elements being detachably mountable on a flexible support profile so as to constitute an easily transportable band which can be used to supply an automated apparatus for fastening mechanical elements by screwing (see for example the document EP-A-0 935 969 ).

Les éléments de fixation servent notamment, mais non exclusivement, à la fixation de membranes de panneaux isolants et de couverture sur une infrastructure de toit.The fasteners serve in particular, but not exclusively, to secure insulation board membranes and roofing over a roof infrastructure.

On sait que pour faciliter une telle fixation et pour réduire le délai de l'opération, on utilise de plus en plus souvent des appareils de vissage automatique comprenant un magasin dans lequel sont stockés une pluralité d'éléments de fixation de ce type.It is known that to facilitate such fixing and to reduce the time of the operation, it is more and more often used automatic screwing devices comprising a magazine in which are stored a plurality of fasteners of this type.

Ainsi, on a déjà proposé dans le brevet FR-A-2 796 872 déposé au nom de RLB un appareil permettant le vissage d'éléments de fixation pouvant présenter des formes et des dimensions différentes sur lesquels sont prévissées des vis de tailles différentes, le magasin de cet appareil étant alimenté par des éléments de fixation éventuellement portés par une bande. Une fois engagée dans le magasin, cette bande est extraite en effectuant sur l'extrémité supérieure de celle-ci une traction axée perpendiculairement aux éléments de guidage.Thus, it has already been proposed in the patent FR-A-2 796 872 deposited in the name of RLB an apparatus for screwing fasteners that may have different shapes and dimensions on which screws of different sizes are provided, the magazine of this apparatus being powered by fasteners possibly carried by a band . Once engaged in the magazine, this band is extracted by performing on the upper end thereof a traction oriented perpendicularly to the guide elements.

Néanmoins, cette solution présente l'inconvénient d'utiliser des éléments de fixation dont les vis sont préengagées dans les perçages des pièces d'appui or, ces éléments de fixation sont relativement volumineux et, par conséquent, difficilement conditionnables et stockables.However, this solution has the disadvantage of using fasteners whose screws are pre-engaged in the holes of the gold abutments, these fasteners are relatively bulky and, therefore, difficult to pack and storable.

Afin de réduire cet inconvénient, la Demanderesse a proposé dans le brevet EP-A-1 405 697 au nom de LR ETANCO un appareil permettant le vissage d'éléments de fixation dont les vis et les pièces d'appui sont alimentées séparément, leur assemblage ne s'effectuant qu'au moment du vissage. Les vis utilisées sont montées de façon détachable sur des profilés de supports souples de manière à être disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres et espacées les unes des autres d'une distance prédéterminée (pas) en formant une bande.In order to reduce this disadvantage, the Applicant has proposed in the patent EP-A-1 405 697 in the name of LR ETANCO an apparatus allowing the screwing of fastening elements whose screws and the support parts are supplied separately, their assembly being carried out only at the moment of the screwing. The screws used are detachably mounted on flexible support profiles so as to be arranged parallel to each other and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance (pitch) forming a band.

De cette façon, les éléments de fixation utilisés par cet appareil sont moins volumineux et les vis montées sur des profilés de supports souples sont plus facilement conditionnables et stockables.In this way, the fasteners used by this device are less bulky and the screws mounted on flexible support profiles are more easily packable and storable.

Néanmoins, le volume des éléments de fixation, même s'il a été réduit, demeure important surtout si le nombre de vis nécessaires est grand de plus, le transport et le conditionnement des pièces d'appui ne s'en trouvent pas facilitées.Nevertheless, the volume of the fasteners, even if it has been reduced, remains important especially if the number of screws required is large more, transportation and packaging of the support pieces are not facilitated.

L'invention a donc plus particulièrement pour but de réduire ces inconvénients. Elle concerne plus particulièrement des éléments de fixation comprenant chacun une pièce d'appui munie d'un orifice servant au passage d'une vis de fixation, cette pièce d'appui étant solidaire d'un fût qui s'étend et débouche coaxialement audit orifice.The invention therefore more particularly aims to reduce these disadvantages. It relates more particularly to fastening elements each comprising a bearing piece provided with an orifice for the passage of a fixing screw, this bearing piece being integral with a shaft which extends and opens coaxially to said orifice .

Selon l'invention, le dispositif met en oeuvre un profilé de supports souple présentant au moins en partie la forme d'une bande dont une bordure latérale est munie d'une succession d'encoches débouchant latéralement à l'extérieur par une ouverture rétrécie de largeur inférieure au diamètre des fûts de manière à ce que lesdits fûts puissent être engagés et être maintenus dans les encoches par clipsage.According to the invention, the device uses a flexible support profile having at least partly the shape of a band whose lateral edge is provided with a succession of notches opening laterally outwards through a narrowed opening of width less than the diameter of the barrels so that said barrels can be engaged and be held in the notches by clipping.

Les pièces d'appui ainsi que les encoches sont conformées d'une telle façon que chaque pièce d'appui recouvre partiellement celle située à sa proximité immédiate de manière à ce que l'entraxe entre deux fûts adjacents soit sensiblement égal à la somme du rayon de la tête de la pièce d'appui et du rayon du fût si la pièce d'appui présente une forme cylindrique ou alors, à la moitié de la largeur de la tête de la pièce d'appui et du rayon du fût si la pièce d'appui présente une forme rectangulaire.The support pieces and the notches are shaped in such a way that each support piece partially covers the one located in its immediate vicinity so that the distance between two adjacent drums is substantially equal to the sum of the radius the head of the support piece and the radius of the barrel if the support piece has a cylindrical shape or, at half the width of the head of the support piece and the radius of the barrel if the piece support has a rectangular shape.

De cette façon, les éléments de fixation sont plus faciles à stocker, à transporter et à utiliser. Ainsi, le profilé de supports souple selon l'invention peut être utilisé notamment avec un appareil permettant le vissage d'éléments de fixation sur lesquels sont prévissées des vis tel que celui faisant l'objet du brevet FR-A-2 796 872 précité. Le profilé de supports pourra également être utilisé avec un appareil permettant un vissage des éléments de fixation à l'aide de vis alimentées séparément dans ce cas, le profilé de supports souple comprend des encoches sur lesquelles se clipsent des pièces d'appui liées à un fût, l'insertion de la vis dans le fût s'effectuant automatiquement par l'appareil.In this way, the fasteners are easier to store, transport and use. Thus, the flexible support profile according to the invention can be used in particular with an apparatus for screwing fasteners on which are screwed screws such as the subject of the patent FR-A-2 796 872 supra. The support profile can also be used with an apparatus for screwing the fastening elements with screws supplied separately in this case, the flexible support profile comprises notches on which clips are attached to a fastener barrel, the insertion of the screw into the barrel is carried out automatically by the device.

Avantageusement, la jonction de la pièce d'appui et du fût est constituée par une collerette comprenant des nervures radiales disposées régulièrement autour de la base du fût, ces nervures permettant notamment de rigidifier la collerette et d'assurer un meilleur contact entre ladite pièce d'appui et le support sur lequel est fixé la vis en prévenant la rotation de cette pièce d'appui par rapport à ce support.Advantageously, the junction of the support piece and the barrel is constituted by a flange comprising radial ribs arranged regularly around the base of the barrel, these ribs in particular making it possible to stiffen the flange and to ensure a better contact between said blank support and the support on which is fixed the screw preventing the rotation of this support part relative to this support.

Chaque pièce d'appui pourra également comprendre sur sa face inférieure des picots permettant d'améliorer l'adhérence entre la pièce d'appui et le support sur lequel est fixé la vis réduisant ainsi le jeu pouvant exister entre ces deux éléments.Each support piece may also include on its underside pins to improve the adhesion between the support part and the support on which is fixed the screw thus reducing the play that may exist between these two elements.

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, avec référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un profilé de supports souple.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un profilé de supports souple comprenant des éléments de fixation comportant une pièce d'appui, dont la tête présente une forme circulaire.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un profilé de supports souple comprenant des éléments de fixation comportant une pièce d'appui, dont la tête présente une forme rectangulaire.
  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective de la face inférieure de la tête d'une pièce d'appui.
One embodiment of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • The figure 1 is a perspective view of a flexible support profile.
  • The figure 2 is a perspective view of a flexible support profile comprising fastening elements comprising a support piece, whose head has a circular shape.
  • The figure 3 is a perspective view of a flexible support profile comprising fastening elements comprising a support piece, whose head has a rectangular shape.
  • The figure 4 is a perspective view of the underside of the head of a support piece.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1, le dispositif selon l'invention 1 comprend un profilé de supports souple 2 présentant sensiblement la forme d'une bande et constitué de matière plastique ou de carton semi-rigide.In the example shown on the figure 1 , the device according to the invention 1 comprises a flexible support profile 2 having substantially the shape of a strip and made of plastic or semi-rigid cardboard.

Le profilé de supports souple 2 comprend une bordure latérale munie d'une succession d'encoches 3 espacées à intervalles réguliers et débouchant latéralement à l'extérieur par une ouverture rétrécie 4 de forme sensiblement cylindrique.The flexible support profile 2 comprises a lateral edge provided with a succession of notches 3 spaced at regular intervals and opening laterally to the outside through a narrowed opening 4 of substantially cylindrical shape.

Le dispositif selon l'invention 1 tel que représenté sur la figure 2 comprend également des éléments de fixation 5 comportant une pièce d'appui 6, présentant la forme d'une rondelle pouvant être en matière plastique moulée ou en tôle emboutie, et munie d'un orifice 7 formé au fond d'une concavité destinée à recevoir la tête d'une vis de fixation.The device according to the invention 1 as represented on the figure 2 also comprises fastening elements 5 comprising a support piece 6, having the shape of a washer that can be molded plastic or stamped sheet metal, and provided with an orifice 7 formed at the bottom of a concavity for receiving the head of a fixing screw.

Chaque pièce d'appui 6 est solidaire d'un fût tubulaire 8 qui s'étend et débouche coaxialement audit orifice 7. Le diamètre intérieur du fût 8 est prévu de manière à ce que la tête de la vis puisse s'y engager et venir en butée dans sa partie inférieure contre un épaulement amorçant une réduction du diamètre.Each support piece 6 is integral with a tubular shaft 8 which extends and opens coaxially with said orifice 7. The inside diameter of the shaft 8 is provided so that the head of the screw can engage and come abutting in its lower part against a shoulder initiating a reduction of the diameter.

Les fûts 8 s'engagent et sont maintenus dans les encoches 3 du profilé de supports souple 2 par clipsage dans lesdites ouvertures rétrécies 4 qui présentent chacune une largeur inférieure au diamètre des fûts 8, l'entraxe entre deux vis adjacentes étant égale à la somme du rayon de la tête de la pièce d'appui 6 et du rayon du fût 8, chaque pièce d'appui 6 recouvre partiellement celle située à sa proximité immédiate.The drums 8 engage and are held in the notches 3 of the flexible support profile 2 by clipping in said narrowed openings 4 which each have a width less than the diameter of the barrels 8, the distance between two adjacent screws being equal to the sum the radius of the head of the support piece 6 and the radius of the shaft 8, each support part 6 partially overlaps that located in its immediate vicinity.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 3, la pièce d'appui 9 présente sensiblement la forme d'une plaquette rectangulaire, en matière plastique moulée ou en tôle emboutie, et munie d'un orifice 7 formé au fond d'une concavité destinée à recevoir la tête de la vis.In the example shown on the figure 3 , the support piece 9 has substantially the shape of a rectangular plate, molded plastic or stamped sheet metal, and provided with an orifice 7 formed at the bottom of a concavity for receiving the head of the screw.

L'entraxe entre deux vis adjacentes est alors sensiblement égale à la moitié de la largeur de la tête de la pièce d'appui 9 et du rayon du fût 8.The spacing between two adjacent screws is then substantially equal to half the width of the head of the support piece 9 and the radius of the barrel 8.

Le profilé de supports souple 2 sur lequel sont attachées les pièces d'appui 6, 9 est introduit dans le magasin de l'appareil permettant le vissage d'éléments de fixation 5, l'utilisateur l'extrait ensuite en effectuant sur l'extrémité supérieure de celui-ci une traction axée perpendiculairement à l'axe des fûts 8.The flexible support profile 2 on which the support parts 6, 9 are attached is introduced into the apparatus magazine for screwing fastening elements 5, the user then extracts it by performing on the end superior of the latter a traction oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the barrels 8.

Le profil de supports souple 2 qui comprend des encoches 3 dans lesquelles se clipsent des pièces d'appui 6, 9 liées à un fût tubulaire 8 est chargé dans un appareil de vissage automatique, la vis étant soit prémontée dans le fût 8, soit insérée automatiquement dans le fût 8 par l'appareil de pose.The flexible support profile 2 which comprises notches 3 into which clips 6, 9 connected to a tubular shaft 8 are loaded into a automatic screwing device, the screw being either pre-assembled in the barrel 8 or inserted automatically into the barrel 8 by the laying device.

Avantageusement, tel que cela est représenté sur la figure 4, la jonction de la pièce d'appui 9 et du fût 8 est constituée par une collerette 10 comprenant des nervures radiales 11, disposées régulièrement autour de la base du fût 8, ces nervures 11 permettant notamment de rigidifier la collerette 10 et d'assurer un meilleur contact entre ladite pièce d'appui 9 et le support sur lequel est fixé la vis en prévenant la rotation de cette pièce d'appui 9 par rapport à ce support.Advantageously, as shown on the figure 4 , the junction of the support piece 9 and the shaft 8 is constituted by a flange 10 comprising radial ribs 11, arranged regularly around the base of the shaft 8, these ribs 11 making it possible in particular to stiffen the flange 10 and to ensure better contact between said support piece 9 and the support on which is fixed the screw preventing the rotation of the support piece 9 relative to this support.

De manière avantageuse, chaque pièce d'appui 9 pourra également comprendre sur sa face inférieure des picots 12 permettant d'améliorer l'adhérence entre la pièce d'appui 9 et le support sur lequel est fixé la vis réduisant ainsi le jeu pouvant exister entre ces deux éléments.Advantageously, each support piece 9 may also comprise on its underside pins 12 for improving the adhesion between the support piece 9 and the support on which is fixed the screw thus reducing the play that can exist between these two elements.
